The Next Best Fling by Gabriella Gamez
2.5

Very repetitive. Marcela just cycled through the same thinking of “oh I love Ben, wait I think maybe Ben’s a dick and I just never saw it before, wow Theo is so great, oh no but Theo loves Alice, boohoo I love Ben, wait Ben is sort of a dick and I just never saw it, wow Theo is so great” over and over. It felt like Marcela and Theo were in love for so long, with no real character development happening for either of them until suddenly at the end of the book enough character development had apparently happened for them to get together. You knew they’d get there eventually, but there wasn’t a lot of real depth that got them there. There was a lot of filler, and I don’t think this story was plotted out well enough for a full length novel. A novella would have been much less repetitive.
